About This Blog
This is a personal blog. It's one part personal stuff, one part media that I'm into, and one part sociopolitical issues I care about.
Things on my mind lately include Battlestar Galactica, the fate of River Song, the challenges of traveling solo as a woman, and how to transcend misogynistic narratives in traditional Appalachian music.
Stuff I typically blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (especially intersectional feminism)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ Palestine
→ gymnastics → personal stuff
→ Alison Krauss
→ fandom
This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it. If people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a fangirl expressing solidarity than that of some skeezy dude objectifying her.
If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.
I can’t miss Nerd Prom! Even though I don’t care about Kimmel and last year I didn’t even see Ayman at all… Still. Nerd Prom.
I will be in DC for the White House Correspondents dinner. If I wanted to watch the guests arrive and/or leave, when/where exactly would I do this?
This is of dire importance.

Barack Obama. Michelle Obama. George Clooney. DARREN CRISS. Nasim Pedrad. Sandra Fluke. Josh Hutcherson. Rashida Jones. THE DOG FROM THE ARTIST?!
I WANNNA GOOOOhelp meee
someone answer this please
Kind of upsetting to me that somebody wants to go to Nerd Prom… to see the celebrities. Not the awesome political and news people.
Like, more importantly than any of this, AYMAN WILL PROBABLY BE THERE. Ayman.
HAH he was at Nerd Prom! Called it!
I’ll just ignore the fact that Scarlett Johansson is in this photo.
Rachel Maddow made drinks at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night. BUT, the key thing is that while everyone else was dressed up for the Nerd Prom, she was keeping it casual.
Hnnnngggg, I love herrrrrrr.
SHE MADE DRINKS AT NERD PROM.
OMG.
SETH.FUCKING.MEYERS.
“Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for president as a republican, which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke.”
I do not think Trump could look more pissed off.
YOU GO SETH COCO.
I applaud him and his writers, holy shit. Time to break this down.
- Jon Kyl abortion joke.
- MSNBC Kool-Aid joke
- Fox News long-form driver’s license (seriously, why didn’t more people laugh at that?)
- New York Times cover and Huffington Post…can I marry this man?
- Throwback to the Palin newspaper interview. Forgot about that.
- All the Anderson jokes. My creys. (btdubs if I ever see Anderson Cooper on my screen without his shirt off (again), that television is doing the opposite of turning off.
- Brian Williams quote joke. Everything.
- Trump’s face during this entire thing. Holy shit. Everyone at his table is stone-faced, and nothing hurts.
- The Miss USA joke got a slow clap from me.
- Obama laughing at the Blacks comment was really just great. I disagree with pretty much all that he has done, spare a few things, but he’s a great guy, and I’d love to interview him.
- “I can tell you who would definitely beat you: 2008 Barack Obama. You would’ve loved him.” STANDING FUCKING OVATION, SETH MEYERS. (let me throw my respect in for him nodding defeatedly to “a little too idealistic”)
- “Look at your hair; if it gets any whiter, the Tea Party is going to endorse it.”
Koala tea, Mr. Meyers. Koala. Tea.
“I got some bad news about the choo choos”
Nothing will ever top Stephen at the WHCD, but I am feeling a lot of feelings for you, Seth. <3

Donald Trump said recently he had a ‘great relationship with the blacks.’ Though unless ‘the Blacks’ are a family of white people, I bet he’s mistaken.
- Seth Meyers, White House Correspondents’ Dinner
this was gorgeous
Obama losing it over the “family of white people” joke.
He didn’t want to laugh but he couldn’t help it.
SETH MEYERS WERE YOU ON ONTD_P CIRCA 2009
I STILL LIVE MY LIFE LIKE IT’S ONTD_P CIRCA 2009 SO I AM DYING RIGHT NOW
